First comes the Ruin. Society crumbles. Then comes the snow. A handful of survivors flee to a Cornish mansion, seeking peace and safety. Instead they find themselves under siege from the things now inhabiting the snowscape outside ... fleeting, terrifying things seen from the corner of the eye.
And as the danger and horror builds, they come to learn that there are also enemies within.
